The Western New York Library Resources Council has begun hosting a series of webinars called "Lunchtime Learning." Our next webinar will be on Monday, December 7th at 12pm to 1pm, and this one is free to all attendees.

Bill Pardue, who started "Slam the Boards" in 2007, will discuss the project and talk about some of the question-and-answer sites used. "Slam the Boards" is an attempt to get reference librarians to provide answers on popular "Answer Board" sites like Yahoo Answers, WikiAnswers, AskVille, etc. We also make it clear that the questions have been answered by librarians. This gives us the opportunity to demonstrate our question-answering skills to users who may not realize that librarians provide reference services.

Visit http://www.wnylrc.org/index.asp?orgID=140&custom=reportoutput&reportID=46&sid=&outputStyle=workshopReport&workshopId=479666 to learn more and register.
